Already missing Bradley Beal, the Wizards can't afford to lose another starter to injury. Otto Porter came up limping after his final field goal in a 115-86 win vs. the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, and even though he headed to the locker room he's fine.

"My foot is OK. No worries," said Porter, who didn't spend extended time in the trainer's room afterwards which was a good sign and walked around unassisted. "Camera people down low and I just kind of ran into them. That happens."

Porter had just gotten a steal from Giannis Antetokounmpo and went end to end for the layup. Initially, he needed teammates to help him walk off the court during the timeout but soon was able to put weight on his left foot.

The layup capped a night when Porter dominated the Bucks on the defensive end and shot 7 of 11 for a team-high 19 points, four assists, three steals and a blocked shot.

The Wizards (5-4) will have Wednesday off, practice the next two days and travel to play the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. They could have Beal (left shoulder contusion) back after missing three games.

As a fellow NBA head coach, Scott Brooks understands what Tyronn Lue of the Cleveland Cavaliers is going through. As his former teammate, Ramon Sessions knows how tough Lue is.

Both members of the Wizards shared their reactions after Monday's practice to the news Lue is stepping away from the Cavs to deal with a health issue. Both expressed hope Lue will not be out long as the NBA continues its trek towards the playoffs.

"All of our thoughts are with him," Brooks said. "You hope that it's nothing serious. Health is the most important [thing]. The game is secondary."

"Prayers out to T-Lue," said Sessions, who played with Lue in Milwaukee. "It's one of those things where you've gotta take care of yourself at the end of the day. Him stepping away is the best thing."

Lue's illness has been a mystery to doctors, according to a statement he released on the Cavaliers' website. He has dealt with chest pains and other symptoms while also struggling to sleep. The hope is that having time off will allow him to get the rest he needs.

Brooks knows firsthand how difficult it is to get sleep during the regular season as a coach.

"You just have to figure out ways to get your rest. Some days are better than others. Sometimes you think after a good win you can have a good night's rest or sometimes it's the opposite. It's just hard to get rest. You're traveling in different timezones. You are emotional after games. You eat late. There are a lot of factors that go into it. We don't have a set schedule every night. I have a good staff and I rely on them," he said.

Lue, 40, will be replaced by associate head coach Larry Drew in the interim. The Cavs happen to be in a tight playoff race with the Wizards and other teams in the Eastern Conference battling for position.

On the latest episode of the Wizards Tipoff podcast presented by Greenberg and Bederman, host Chase Hughes was joined by Bullets/Wizards legend Phil Chenier ahead of his jersey retirement set for this upcoming weekend on March 23.

Chenier looked back on his playing and broadcasting career and told great stories. He also shared some memories of the 1978 championship as the franchise gets ready to honor its 40th anniversary.
